You don't know. The devs don't know. And I'm not even sure Unity knows. All they've mentioned is "we have our ways". It's that insecurity level that will kill the use of Unity. People could live with a 0.2$ fee. But if they don't even know how "installs" are counted? No way.

And I wonder how this is counted. A bacteria has about 4000 genes. A human as about 25000 genes. So, humans have at most 15% genes IN COMMON with a bacteria (assuming that every bacterial gene is present and identical in humans).

Interesting: It looks like they want to force all F2P games into a B2P model, in order to get those fees.

That's a price I'm willing to pay.

Moore's Law is relentless (you get double transistors for the same price every 18 months). When the iPhone 7 was released in 2016, it had 10% more performance than an Xbox360 from 2005.

They're probably making a digital deluxe that includes multiple DLC in advance, so it's "almost mandatory".

Never a wrong thing.

Also, for those who aren't on full Patreon, spoiler warning: It goes to full-on Lovecraftian relatively soon. If that's not your thing, beware.

That's partially why I've pretty much stopped playing for now. The number of bug patches, the mentions of aborted questlines in Act 3, the missing upper city... I don't want to do something, then be told it's fixed and I'll see it in my next campaign (if any).

Also people have started noticing he's "problematic". He's an obvious right-winger who believes in conspiracy theories (like the fact that the most fair election of recent times might not have been fair, or stuff about COVID that falls under disinformation and so on). I patreon at least a month...

LOL, it's an official popular tour offer: https://holidaytours.one/package/paragliding-egypt-paragliding-over-pyramids-of-giza/

If this was an asian gacha game, I would think of this as believable. But this is ridiculous.

Looks like waaay more content!

Spotted this on MMOByte's news: https://evercraftonline.com/ You can even recognize the bits of Everquest zones in there. The only place this was ever posted appears to be in the middle of Pantheon's gif streams, so it probably deserves a real thread. Even if it remains quiet for most of its...

The only time I heard about him was back when he was shilling for that Pantheon game scam.

127 seconds. Any computer engineer recognizes this.

Sometimes no doesn't mean no, you know?

There are apparently four main ending achievements.

I've uninstalled the GEForceShitWhatever almost immediately, as soon as it asked me to register. I don't have to register everywhere to update drivers, thank you. So I only upgrade by hand, whenever it needs to be done. I did notice that after hotfix 1.2, the game was immediately complaining...

Voyagers are getting on 50 years already in space and work good enough (when you don't upload the wrong command). So, designing things to not work, but be ready to work, isn't far fetched. Granted, they're using old technology made by Boomers, not a modern one by Gen Z...

Yeah, but it's tiny. There's a small amount of Neandertal DNA that ended up in some african populations, but it's marginal. Now, north africa is different, but that's because the middle-east invaded several times, to the point they don't even have black skin anymore, but that's definitively what...

And once again - those divergent lineage that spent 100-200-300kY evolving out of Africa are not our primary ancestors. At best, they provided 3-5% of DNA in asians, 3% or less in european DNA, and all the rest came from africans who hightailed out from Africa 50kY ago. The vibe I'm always...

That's the "It only takes one" argument for you. If you have lots of species around, and colonizing the galaxy is doable... the one that does it will colonize the galaxy, and make it so that we don't even evolve. You need an argument about why almost every species won't do that, just why one...

You don't need speed of light for Fermi's paradox. If you can only do 1% of the speed of light, with AI (just getting kickestarted and looks like it can work out), artificial wombs (being developped as we speak right now) and frozen embryo (already worked out), a species that can last "forever"...

We ("caucasoids") are also interfertile with africans. Meaning we're closely related enough to be considered the same species, no matter what. As I said, DNA hints that there was once about four slightly distinct human lineages: Homo Africanus, Homo Neanderthalensis, Homo Denisova, and a...

Hotfix just in, and major Gameplay (sic) fixes: (I kid you not: this is under "Gameplay")

Unfortunately, DNA basically put that part down. Non-African races are basically 97% pre-50kY Africans, 3-5% Denisovans/Neanderthals. So while it's true that euros and asians have a bit that evolved for a long time outside of Africa, they got most of their ancestry from there. The big...

It's just back to the old Fermi Paradox which says that, if the numbers in Drake's equation align with what we think, our solar system should have been colonized before the dinosaur even went extinct, if not earlier. So AT LEAST one of the factors in there isn't correct. That usually leaves two...

It's a bit more complicated, but apparently, you can, if you pick the right dialogue at camp when it pops. You just need a lot of approval. There's a wiki with all "approves"/"disapproves" reaction if you want to game it: https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Companion+Approval+Guide...

Microsoft decided to pull a WotC and tightens his EULA on Minecraft:

It is probably doable. Oceanic migration occured with far less technology. But there appear to be no trace of anything in the local population, notably gene-wise, so they didn't put down a colony, like they used to, or it suffered the same fate as the viking's northern ones.

He's apparently still 50 chapters ahead on Patreon (I checked, he just posted 180), with 1 chapter a day going on... except on the day of the week where he does 2.

That was yesterday (now two days ago). Some patch hitting. Today's graph is... very different (the little blip is what was on yesterday's screenshot):

ROFL, my ISP has crashed. Two friends (all on the same) got their internet not responding at all for 2mins when I had "no connections" either... (including my own servers)

Started download lightning fast, then 1min later, slowed to a crawl... had to reboot to restore my normal speed. It's oscillating between 200 and 700Mbps. About 18 min download expected.

You need reflection, not lensing. Lensing will not make you able to see things in your past light cone - you need the light to travel forth and then back to see X thousand of years. The Turyshev 2020 proposal uses the lensing from the sun to get a telescope with a 25km resolution on exoplanets...

Wait, finally their launches on SpaceX will be broadcast in 1080p instead of 720p?

That reminds me of an old discussion of racial advantages in AD&D. "So elves are long-lived, dwarves are strong and resilient, but humans?" "We fuck anything, and we make babies with them no matter what"

Yea, Chinese replication is "less than conclusive" (it's China, fake it until you make it is a way of life in academia), but at least we've got western institutions working on it. Of course, there's things like the Harvard Prez scandal, where they take the same picture, zoom it a little bit...
